The Madonna's grew their own vegetables, vineyard, and orchard. They hunted deer and fished for salmon, all on the ranch. Currently, the ranch consists of approximately 100 acres with horse and cattle grazing, a year-round creek, and unobstructed views of Edna Valley and Islay Hill.

Retro Cozy!

My family stayed in the guesthouse for a week long vacation. The setting of this ranch was unbelievable! We had views of large open fields and rolling hills one way, and views of vineyards from the back yard! The weather was perfect and we spent much of our time on the patio or playing games in the yard. The house is charming and comfortable with a slightly retro feel, and

Nice setting, but needs work

First off, Krysta, the new innkeeper, is trying very hard to improve things. She was very attentive to our needs - they were many. The kitchen needed a lot of things (provided) and the beds needed mattress pads (provided). We also secured a flashlight from her and liners for drawers and cupboards. The housekeeping is suspect, as the cleanliness was sub-par (for ex., the vacuum cleaner barely worked). We also had to re-wash all dishes and would not use the sponge and scrubber provided. Lamps were dim, so hard to read in the livingroom. Also, this is a dog-friendly place, but the groundskeeper was placing poison around to combat ground squirrels; not a good thing for Fido.

It's an ok overnight/weekend place, but we cannot recommend for a longer-term stay. That said, improvements are being made and Krysta's good efforts may make this a more desirable place very soon.

Magical stay at the Water Tower

This review is for the Water Tower property on the Flying Caballos ranch.

We enjoyed a special anniversary at the fun and charming Water Tower on the Flying Caballos ranch. (See website.) The unique three-level structure is cozy inside, but has a useful kitchen, comfy bed and top level with vineyard, mountain and ranch views. The finishes and details throughout are of a high and artistic standard, and the place was spotless. It is a perfect retreat for two (or one). Don't be hesitant about the "outdoor" shower, which is sufficiently enclosed and private, and boasts a large rainfall showerhead. Also, don't worry about the nearby airport. We did not find the occasional small and medium-sized airplanes intrusive, and there was no air traffic at night. From Flying Caballos we walked the grounds and even explored the adjoining vineyard. Ten minutes by car is lively and charming downtown SLO. We also must make special thanks to property manager Joleen, who was responsive, friendly and helpful throughout our experience. Thanks!
